meta-stable states in PNJL model
arXiv:1907.07981 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.102.074020
Abstract
We study the Z 3 meta-stable states in the Polyakov loop Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. These states exist for temperatures above T m ~ 194 MeV and can decay via bubble nucleation. We numerically solve the bounce equation to compute the nucleation rate. We speculate that, in the context of heavy-ion collisions, the likely scenario for the decay of the meta-stable states is via spinodal decomposition.
